Wisdom from the Muppets

Today I had The Muppets Take Manhattan playing while I cleaned the house and did the laundry. It's not the best Muppet movie, but it reminded me: I love the Muppets! Here are some snippets I particularly enjoyed ...

Kermit: It's not often that a frog and a bear and a pig and a chicken and a whatever even get accepted into college.

Martin Price: You know what? I smell something.
(Everyone sniffs and turns to face Rowlf)
Rowlf: Why does everyone always blame dogs?

Martin Price: Get back, or the chicken gets it.
Police officer: That's a threat?

Rizzo (to Jenny): You can take the weirdos at table four.
Gonzo (at table four): Which one do you think is table four?

Pete: So, peoples is peoples, okay?

Kermit: For the next part of my plan, I have to look older, so I'm going to grow a mustache.

Miss Piggy: Pigs don't have eyebrows.

Fozzie: I love it out here in the woods. It's where a bear should be.

Ronnie Crawford: I told you. I want to do something different.
Bernard Crawford: So put some Jell-O down your pants.

Janice: Look, buddy, I don't take my clothes off for anyone, even if it is artistic.

Miss Piggy: You are Kermit the Frog, and you love me. You want to marry me. You want to have children with me.
Kermit: With you? In love with a pig? Ha ha! Wait till I tell the guys in marketing. Ha ha ha! Maybe you expect me to go hog-wild? Ha ha ha! Maybe, perhaps you could bring home the bacon, huh? Ha ha ha! Oh, the sounds of love. Soo-EY! Oink! Oink! Ha ha ha!

(Singing)
Miss Piggy: Somebody get a sweet negligee 'cause somebody's getting married today.
Swedish Chef: Wedding, wedding. Pig and froggy wedding.

"The Muppets Take Manhattan" was a wee bit racy, wasn't it? I didn't notice when I was in second grade.
